Can someone _please_ remove the dependancies on compiler version on the kernel 
src rpms, or give me a good reason why they are there? (I can't believe 
Mandrakes kernels _require_ the latest gcc...)
This breaks my ability to use the latest mdk kernels on my 9.0 boxen for no 
apparent reason. (usually I use the kernel-source.rpm and --nodeps it)

# rpm --rebuild kernel-2.4.21.6mdk-1-1mdk.src.rpm
Installing kernel-2.4.21.6mdk-1-1mdk.src.rpm
error: failed build dependencies:
        gcc >= 3.3.1-0.6mdk is needed by kernel-2.4.21.6mdk-1-1mdk

Also, /usr/src/RPM/RPMS is hardcoded into this package, so I can't build it as 
a user (there shouldn't be any requirement to be root to build a kernel, only 
to actually install one although this may have a bearing on the 
kernel-source.rpm...)

Cheers,

Mark.
